Singer Bonnie Tyler is at it again with this full-length offering titled Angel Heart. A lot of the American public might know her best for her work with big stars like Meat Loaf, but she had made a place for herself in the music world with a solo career as well, long before the United States and her duets with others. Tyler has landed huge hits with songs like "Total Eclipse of the Heart," "Holding Out for a Hero," and "It's a Heartache." On this album, Angel Heart, fans will find a pleasing mixture of ballads and upbeat pop that showcases the wonderful, husky voice of this singing star. Some of the top-notch tracks on this offering included "Race to the Fire," "Fools Lullaby," and "All We Have Is Tonight." A great album to add to any rock collection.
Considered one of the finest counter tenors of his generation, Ryland Angel makes the switch from the rarefied world of Baroque music – which established him as an international star – to the land of pop classical on his lushly produced major-label debut. While some of the press materials tried to link him to more pop oriented singer/songwriters like Aaron Neville, James Taylor and James Blunt, Angel's stunningly beautiful, ethereal and transcendent voice will appeal just as much to fans of Josh Groban. But while Groban always aims for the big pop hook and crescendo, Angel is a little more traditional, letting most of these tracks build their feelings slowly, drifting over a colorful ambient landscape.
In the decade since their last studio outing, Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson have apparently done some soul-searching and meditating on what made Heart such a great band in the first place. At their peak, they were a powerful, obsessively compelling rock band that could knock off hit singles and consistently fine albums that appealed to album rock radio junkies and studious type…
Sada is the second studio collaboration between Spanish guitarist Ángel Ontalva and beloved Russian space-prog-jazz-psych geniuses Vespero. The two previously broke ground on 2018’s ‘Carta Marina,’ which in turn led to the live album ‘Sea Orm Liventure’ before this latest work. Clearly, they have a good thing going, and they bring out the best in each other. I strongly recommend ALL of these albums. Ontalva and Vespero make a superb combination. Their works - all instrumental - remind me a great deal of Mahavishnu Orchestra. So kindle your inner mounting flame and come along for the ride.
